University of Leeds is linked to the development of Leeds as an international centre for the textile industry and clothing manufacture in the Victorian era. Its roots stretch back to the early nineteenth century and it was one of six civic universities in industrial cities given royal charters at the beginning of the twentieth century (beginning with Birmingham in 1900). Before this wave of expansion in higher education, only five universities--Oxford, Cambridge, London, Durham, and the federal Victoria University--were established in England and one in Wales (1893). (The Victoria University was established at Manchester in 1880 as a federal university for the North of England since the government were unwilling to raise Owens College to university status. However Owens College was the only member from 1880 to 1884; from 1887 when Yorkshire College joined there were three member colleges.)

University of Leeds is a major teaching and research university in Leeds, West Yorkshire and, with over 33,000 full-time students, is the second largest single site university in the United Kingdom. In the world university league tables published in November 2008, the university's ‘employer review’ score was 98 out of 100. It is a member of the Russell Group and the N8 Group for research collaboration. The university is ranked in the top ten of UK universities for market share of research funding. Dating back to the establishment of the Leeds School of Medicine in 1831 and consolidated as a university in 1904, it is one of the six original civic 'red brick' universities, and in 2006 was ranked second in the UK for the number of applications received.

University of Leeds was given its first university in 1887 when the Yorkshire College joined the federal Victoria University on 3 November: the Victoria University had been established by royal charter in 1880; Owens College being at first the only member college. Leeds now found itself in an educational union with close social cousins from Manchester and Liverpool. The main campus of University of Leeds is located 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Leeds city centre. It is within walking distance of both the city centre and headingly, a popular residential area for students. The main entrance to the campus for visitors by car is on Woodhouse Lane, near the Parkinson Building. The tower of this building is a well-known landmark and is used in the University's logo. In addition to the main campus, there is also a satellite location at Wakefield. Until the 2006–07 academic year, some courses were taught at the Bretton Hall campus in West Bretton. The site closed in summer 2007 after which the courses taught there were relocated to the main campus in Leeds.
